That's not necessary to implement icomplete/fido verticality, so it should
better be done with another patch I think. I'll submit a patch for that
later.
(There is a single "unless" AFAICS.)

The trick is that there is no calculation of the number of candidates. A
(long enough) list of candidates is added in an overlay, and Emacs
automatically displays the first ones. With a smaller window you'll see
less candidates, with a larger one you'll see more of them.

That would have been possible in principle, but the code would not have
been much simpler, and I think changing the behavior for a specific value
of a user variable isn't the best thing to do. It's clearer to have a
minor mode that users can toggle, and the setup in an init file is as
simple as possible: "(icomplete-vertical-mode 1)".
